My son the bladesmith hit the big-time when one of his knives was featured in the most recent issue of Blade magazine (“The world’s #1 knife publication”). Lon got a three-page spread with seven photos of the knife being tested, and a rave review on its quality.
Called a “tactical camp knife,” it is made of W2 tool steel, a material that holds its sharpness longer than others.
He has been making beautiful knives for collectors and sportsmen, traveling to knife shows around the country, working at it steadily and hard. He’s acquired incredible skills with metals and fancy handles, using forge and hammer and other basic stuff, the way it was done 100 years ago.
His web site is http://www.lonhumphreyknives.com.
